Title
ColorGuardian: Customize Skin Tattoos for Children with Vitiligo
Abstract
BSTRACTVitiligo is a common pigmentary skin disorder. Children with vitiligo are likely to have low self-esteem and fear of social communication. The common treatment of vitiligo for children is physiological, rarely in psychological measures. In this paper, we present ColorGuardian, a new and interesting skin tattoo customization system, to relieve the psychological damage caused by vitiligo to children. The system scans the vitiligo area with the Light Detection and Ranging scanner to generate the 3D skin surface model and obtain the white patches image. Users can design their own tattoos or choose recommended designs that are available in the gallery to match up the pattern and the white patches’ shape through the application that is linked to the system. We evaluate our system through a light usability test and semi-structured interview. The results show that ColorGuardian has positive impacts on children by reducing their feelings of inferiority.
